1236852 2011-10-12 08:17:00 My first post was during the first or second week of PressF1 on 10/9/98, about the skulduggery of Microsofts RegClean killing Netscape.....

I'm pretty sure i posted earlier than that though. Also, it says i posted than on the 5th March 2010, but my join date on my profile says 21 march 2010.

I was here sporadically from 2008 to 2009 under various names, but barely posted. And those accounts are long gone.

1236856 2011-10-12 14:19:00 I've just found a far older one. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz

My semi-accidental discovery that the forum was vulnerable to HTML injection (aka XSS). The Google logo was actually displayed in the thread title (as intended). Of course I am aware that the HTML is wrong (resulting in HTML and BODY tags within the body of the page...), but it did work, and in my defence I was 11 at the time!

Additionally, HTML in posts at the time was fed to the browser without encoding. So, the first time I made it, instead of the code as intended, my post just had a Google box in it!

Embarrassingly, I seem to have created that thread four times to get it just right, to the annoyance of many forum members...

I'm starting to wonder how far back I go...
